Objective Versus Subjective Measurement of Stress and Social Support: Combat-Related Reactions.

Solomon, Zahava; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v55 n4 p577-83 Aug 1987

Studied combat intensity, social support, and related stress reactions among soldiers who fought in the 1982 Israeli-Lebanon War, comparing those who experienced combat stress reaction (N=382) and those who did not (N=344). Subjective indicators were found to be stronger predictors than were objective indicators. Combat stress reaction was clearly the best predictor of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. (Author/NB)
